SKEE 2: Neither the movie nor the quote was very obscure, I see. You got me.

**Sublight** , ya nailed it.

**Baker** : Yeah, I knew that. I thought Aura had a line of dialogue _between_ Dale’s two lines, though. I haven’t seen it recently enough, I guess. (Any excuse to dig that out of the collection and watch it again, I know, I know.) 😃

**ShibbOleth** : Nope. Don’t know if I’ve ever actually seen The Hustler, start to finish, though. Thinking of a different flick here.

SKEE 5: Do you guys have sour balls? Yeah? Bet you don’t get many blow jobs.  
[sub]This one’s mildly obscure because it’s not in every version of the flick.[/sub]

SKEE 6: How’s about you and you girlfriend race me over there?

SKEE 7: There are thousands of children starving in the world, and you’re walking around with a sombrero full of peanuts. I hope you’re happy.

SKEE 8: I could do this all day long… I’m talkin’ **all** day long.

NCUN1: The feather was just a gag!

(For you older folk out there.)

OK, it’s not really obscure, but I like it sooooo much and the “favorite lines” thread is kinda stale.

Tremors. How can you not love this movie?

PG1: “I have a question for you, Lord. Why did you make so many suckers?”

You’re warm. And it’s four out of five. Don’t argue with me, young man. 😛 (although there are two dubbed versions of the film that are used by networks to eliminate the naughty language, so they might have changed it when they dubbed it).

Both of mine were guessed correctly -  
K_1 = **Airplane**  
K_2 = **Waking Ned Devine**

I forget who got them, but you know who you are.

**li’l Dickie Dirtz** and **Robot Arm** …correct!

That was Cheech, in “Up in Smoke” (he thinks, wrongly, that Chong just scored with two chicks in the van).

To re-post one of mine, and add a few more:

AST1: “No kidding, you’re a Jew? Well then… why aren’t you SMART?”

AST2: “Are you gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?”

AST3: “Double the lad’s bet for me, you toad!”

AST4: " I don’t know if I was interested so much in the science as I was in the slime that goes along with it. Snakes and frogs. "

The line is Clint Eastwood, but I can’t name the film. I think it’s Unforgiven, though.

AST3: “Double the lad’s bet for me, you toad!”

I believe that’s _My Favorite Year_ – Peter O’Toole, Mark Linn-Baker. Good movie.

I could be wrong … but it’s still a good movie.

I _think_ that’s “Back To The Future” but I’m probably wrong.

Zap 1: “Hey kid, you know your last name’s an adverb?”  
Zap 2: “Still don’t get the big brain bit, do ya?”
